WebTest: How to automate flash based web site?

WebTest: How to automate flash based web site? Was this post helpful ?

Dear All,I am working on automation of a web site which is full of flash component/controls. In VSTS webtest the flash controls/objects are not getting recorded/tracked. How should I go for automation of such site? Let me know if I can go with coding and what should be the approach?Any comment/help in this regard would be appreciable.
Thanks,Salil

Our Webtests work at the http layer, the recorder only captures the http traffic from the browser. So if the flash controls on your site are making http requests (for example, how ajax does) then that will get captured. The actual mouse movements and UI manipulations are not captured though.

Also, are you using VSTS 2008? The VSTS 2005 Web test recorder did not record Ajax requests or Java script requests, and would likely miss these.
